View Article  Interfaith Families Article printed
This article is the story of my Hebrew naming and "coming out" as a Jew. It is a very personal story and was a leap for me to write. Some of it is altered for effect from the original essay by editorial license, but I am proud of it.   more »
View Article  Third of Elul

Elul, as you no doubt recall is the period leading up to Selichot and Rosh Hashanah, the Days of Awe and Yom Kippur. We listen for the sound of the shofar and listen inwardly, too. We are preparing ourselves, mending fences, reconciling and forgiving old accounts...letting bygones be bygones. This introspection and conciliatory spirit comes at an interesting time in terms of world affairs and US Presidential campaigns. Are you listening to the speeches and thinking what's needed is a shofar?

Well, I have some things to say about this. But, alas, it is already late and I am trying to get to bed at a reasonable hour so as to combat a brewing upper respiratory infection (allergies-tis the season). I have neglected you here for a while, but I am back. Forgive me the hiatus. It was much needed. Such a year we had last year. God willing the next year for us should, please, bring us health and strength and renewed vigor for the jobs that are ahead of us. Big jobs.

I learned PILES of things, glorious things from Reb Shefa and Rachmiel in New Mexico. Will knock your socks off. Now just need to get the ol' act together and schedule a hum/drum. Already overscheduled for September- but will narrow in on October dates.

More soon. Must sleep or I'll be useless tomorrow.

(am considering resolution to avoid writing after 11p because all editorial eye is utterly lost as I get more and more sleepy. So. Goodnight and sweet revealing dreams.
